California Department of Motor Vehicles officials said today that
a computer outage that has affected its offices across the state is again
affecting Bay Area offices.

As of 11 a.m., offices in Concord, Mountain View and San Jose are
affected. DMV officials had previously said that all Bay Area offices were
providing full services as of 9 a.m. today.

But spokesman Jaime Garza said, “As our staff attempts to get
computers back online, there are instances when the computers may have a
hiccup and we need to make a quick adjustment.”
The outage started Monday and affected at least six Bay Area
offices.

DMV officials said the outage is affecting driver’s license, ID
card and vehicle registration transactions at DMV field offices.
To avoid vehicle registration penalties because a transaction
could not be processed, customers should fill out a statement of facts or
write a letter explaining why the payment was late, according to DMV
officials.
